[quote=Anonymous]A founder is not a legacy because the founder founded the university and didn't attend it. I'm in the don't mention it at all camp. I can't see any way that it doesn't rub admissions counselors the wrong way. It's not a genuine connection. You don't want your kid's application to be the one that's pinned to the office bulletin board with an eyeroll sticky note on it. I think mentioning it can only work to your kid's disadvantage, because it will make him/her sound pretentious. Tons of kids with great scores and GPAs get weeded out for reasons as simple as they come across as arrogant or pretentious. Don't give them a reason to think this applies to your kid.[/quote]
